[RFLP analysis of wheat-L. racemosus translocation lines].

A number of wheat-L. racemosus translocation lines were developed by irradiation, pollen culture and gametocidal chromosome methods. In order to identify homozygous translocation lines and determine the exact location of the breakpoints involved in the translocations, 67 probes genetically or physically mapped previously on wheat chromosomes belonging to seven homoeologous groups were used for RFLP analysis. Three homozygous translocation lines were identified: T1BL.7Lr # 1S, T4BS.4BL-7Lr # 1 and T6AL.7Lr # 1S. In lines T1BL.7Lr # 1S and T6AL.7Lr # 1S, the breakpoint of chromosome 7Lr # 1 was located in the short arm between the area marked by clone MWG808 and that of ABG476.1, and the breakpoints of chromosomes 1B and 6A were both located near the centromere. In line T4BS.4BL-7Lr # 1S, the breakpoint of chromosome 7Lr # 1 was located in the short arm between the area marked by clone BCD349 and that of CDO595, the breakpoint of chromosome 4B was located in the long arm between the area marked by clone CDO541 and that of PSR164.
